+Daemonize and Autostart under Debian and RHEL

+
+Daemonizing and autostarting a process is still a pain in the ass, so
+here are two scripts which can be placed under /etc/init.d and if you
+are lucky everything will work.
+
+
+Example is the punani backend, an universal package resolver and installer
+which is essentially a python webserver (now obsolete).
